Small Claim Court Judges are a Joke


Henrietta Town Court, Rochester, NY is no justice with Judge Brown wears a crown

Wide open spaces, void of human beings, new land to be settled they came

Henrietta Town Court, Rochester, NY with Judge Pericak is not fair


A small claim court against Sears for a TV maintenance agreement is a down

Ranches, farms, traders the wild west to be tamed

A small claim court against Mr. Tire on West Henrietta road to make it square


Judge Brown laughed with the sears lawyers making it a joke is a clown

Town and villagers filled the land bringing law and order they claim

The car was brought in to be inspected and steering wheel problem repair


Judge Brown dismissed the evidence before him we frown

Business spring up with one room schools libraries caused fame

Jude Pericak said they tried and should be paid caused a tear


Judge Brown made a mockery of the justice system in this town

Stagecoaches brought passengers to a growing town was a game

Judge Pericak said he heard enough I could not plead my case without care


The new frontier had sheriffs deputies to keep peace and safety they claim

Justice to the land became uneven when interpreted by one man whose to blame

Henrietta Town Court, Rochester, NY is no justice with Judge Brown wears a crown

Henrietta Town Court, Rochester, NY with Judge Pericak is not fair
